About Laverna
She explains things in clear, simple terms and listens for what matters most to each person. Conversations focus on current struggles and on small, manageable steps to feel better. Sessions often look at relationships, communication, and patterns that repeat over time.
Her background includes extended work in nursing and hospice care, which informs how she approaches grief and end-of-life topics. That medical perspective is used to connect emotional concerns to everyday life and practical needs. Clients can expect a therapist who pays attention to how life events and health intersect.
Laverna uses several therapy styles to match a person’s needs, including ways to address trauma, emotion in relationships, and thinking patterns that get stuck. She helps people work through family-of-origin issues, adoption or foster care concerns, and intimacy-related challenges. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented.
People who choose her may be looking for help with coping, rebuilding after loss or betrayal, managing mood disorders like depression or bipolar, or navigating life changes. She encourages straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people build safer, steadier ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical steps and new skills to manage mood and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes the role of emotions in relationships and helps partners or individuals recognize and change interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit what you want to change. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.

It can also help people work through relationship patterns, grief, and trauma-focused work by using approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy, CBT, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy in conversation and structured exercises.
